I really liked the Norvel's. I'm sorry to see them disappear from the USA.... but I do have to say that one should not stick one's finger into the prop of one of those beasts when running an SPC prop. Absolutely perfect lacerations (I didn't blunt the edges with sandpaper like I should have). If I had had a wood prop on there, my fingers would have only been bludgened instead of lacerated :-D
Hopefully my LHS will have one left over in his stock for me. I'll find out tomorrow. yeah, I liked the Norvel - and also learned to respect it as well
